Atlas Of Fetal Echocardiography

Foetal echocardiography is a test used to diagnose cardiac conditions in the foetal stage. Congenital heart disease is a leading cause of infant mortality, and structural abnormalities of the foetal heart are often missed. The 160+ full colour images in this Atlas will help obstetricians, gynaecologists and cardiologists differentiate between what is normal and what is abnormal from case to case. The second edition of The Atlas of Fetal Echocardiography explains the concepts of foetal cardiac imaging in a simple and well structured manner. The book consists of 15 chapters, with key points detailed at the end of each section. The lucid language and vivid illustrations of this new edition make each topic easy to understand, from basic embryology to the diagnosis of structural defects. Full pictorial explanations of new developments in the field of foetal heart examination and a supplementary DVD, further enhance this book.

A beautifully illustrated guide to understanding and performing ultrasound examinations of the fetal heart using today's advanced ``two-dimensional'' technology, including M-mode echocardiography and Doppler ultrasound. Combining the expertise of an ultrasonographist, an obstetrician, and a pediatric cardiologist with the talents of a medical illustrator, this concise, visually appealing atlas covers the art and science of fetal echocardiography. The clear and comprehensible format makes this an indispensible reference for cardiologists, pediatricians, and obstetricians.

This atlas is a guide to the investigation and diagnosis of foetal heart disorders using echocardiography. The book begins with the normal anatomy and function of the foetal heart, then goes on to discuss structural defects and rarer conditions, including tumours and conjoint twins.

Perfect for both the novice learning to perform fetal echocardiography, as well as the expert needing more details of various anomalies, this comprehensive text/atlas covers everything you need to know. It incorporates a practical, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management with contributors from various medical specialties. You'll find complete information on physiology, detailed guidelines on how to perform a fetal echocardiogram, and highly illustrated coverage of various congenital heart abnormalities. Full-color images, coverage of the latest technologies, and a new companion CD keep you up to date with the latest in this fast-changing field. "How-to" details include scanning protocols, the correct equipment to use, and technical and anatomical limitations. Normal anatomy, variants, and common pitfalls in scanning and diagnosis are presented. Coverage of congenital heart abnormalities includes how the conditions look on scans, which scanning views and modalities to use, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Thoroughly covers every topic on the ARDMS certification exam in fetal echocardiography, making your study more efficient and effective. Three new chapters cover first trimester fetal echocardiography, 3D fetal echocardiography, and fetal intervention, all incorporating the newest technologies and treatments.Companion CD features video clips of scanning techniques plus 260 study questions, sortable by chapter, which you can use to help prepare for the ARDMS certification exam in fetal echocardiography. Presents the latest in color and Doppler imaging, demonstrating scanning as it actually appears in the clinical setting. Evolve Online Resources includes an image collection of over 400 illustrations from the text.

This atlas provides a practical guide to the diagnosis of congenital heart disease using echocardiography in both adults and children. A plethora of high-quality echocardiography images provide practical examples of how to diagnose a range of conditions correctly, including aortic stenosis, tricuspid atresia, coronary artery fistula and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Atlas of Echocardiography in Pediatrics and Congenital Heart Diseases describes the diagnostic management of a range of congenital heart diseases successfully in both adults and children. Therefore it provides a valuable resource for both practicing cardiologists who regularly treat these patients and for trainees looking to develop their diagnostic skills using echocardiography.

This atlas of echocardiography presents more than 100 cases of adult congenital heart disease, from diagnosis to treatment follow-up. The coverage is broad, encompassing atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, cyanotic adult congenital heart disease, and numerous other anomalies, as well as findings on fetal echocardiography. For each disease, all echocardiographic images and views which proved of diagnostic value are arranged sequentially, with inclusion of transesophageal echocardiographic images whenever appropriate. Additional pertinent information is provided relating to diagnosis and treatment, and key teaching points are highlighted. The superb quality of the illustrations and the range of cases considered (including many rare ones) ensure that this atlas will be of great value for cardiology residents and fellows and highly relevant to day-to-day practice.
